Inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest of tire

Front tires look fine from the outside but the inner shoulders are nearly done. Car is lowered a little. I'd rather fix the alignment than just keep buying tires—what measurements should I ask the shop for besides toe?

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2017 Nissan Altima, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Just my two cents from doing this recently. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2017 Nissan Altima in Denver / Front Range, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Not convinced that's the whole story. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2017 Nissan Altima before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. The universe charges extra for guessing. I'll update if anything new shows up.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. A second data point from another 2017 Nissan Altima owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2017 Nissan Altima in Denver / Front Range. That's the whole play. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.
